Authorities have claimed that they have been responsive to the needs of the public but fact remains that hilly areas are without power supply and the roads have not been cleared so far by the officials. The administration cannot behind the fact that it was a spell of heavy snowfalls and they cannot do anything in the hilly villages of Kashmir.
According to MET office predictions, weather will be dry and cold over Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh while snowfall and rain are likely to occur at isolated places in both the union territories.
